From the PCIe spec:

The PCI 3.0 compatible Configuration Space can be accessed using either
the mechanism defined in the PCI Local Bus Specification or the PCI
Express Enhanced Configuration Access Mechanism (ECAM) described later in
this section. Accesses made using either access mechanism are
equivalent. The PCI Express Extended Configuration Space can only be
accessed by using the ECAM.

The 1.0 spec has a similar wording (s/3.0/2.3).

Definitely the best way to go.

Thanks,

tglx
